Electric Vehicles
Why Drive an Electric Vehicle?
EVs boast benefits beyond those to your wallet and the environment:
- Convenient home charging
- Promotion of better health through reduced emissions
- Unique safety features
- Support for energy independence
- Encourage more efficient use of the energy grid
Benefits for Your Wallet & Environment
Annual Savings
Fuel costs to drive an electric vehicle are 40%-50% less than gasoline vehicles, dependent on the current price of gasoline. EVs also have fewer parts than an internal combustion engine, requiring less maintenance.
Consistent Price
Unlike the price of gasoline, the price of electricity is set by the State of Michigan. Rates are available that reward EV drivers for charging their vehicles during off-peak hours (7pm - 11am).
Tax Incentives
To offset the upfront cost of an electric vehicle, some consumers may be eligible for Federal Tax incentives up to $7,500 on some vehicles.
